Hi all,
I remember when I stated building squads for x-wing I would just look at ships, their abilities and would mash together what I liked without much thought. Sometimes this worked out nice, sometimes it went horribly but I didn't know better.
Now, a few years later I am a little stuck since I know the meta, know about effectiveness and think I have a good understanding what works. This of course is backed up by what I hear of big tournaments and read or hear from other players in my area. It boils down to the situation where I am not really able to build something that looks or feels original to me ship wise. I know full well that combinations are limited but my guess is that there is plenty to explore (apart from the really small factions) and somehow I can't get to it.
